At least it is a front line that could sustain an injury and not ruin the entire

He'll help out tremendously. Could have used him this year.

If we are banking on Austin next year for the 5 then Rose has failed

Austin would be a fine 5 if he has a scoring option next to him at the four.

Kaufusi. I think he'd be a servicable backup next year.

Has Austin ever played the 5 for us?

He's played the 5 for us this year prior to getting injured

I missed the rumors on Austin. Is he going to try for a medical redshirt?

With Davis being 6'9" couldn't he play the 5 as well......?

That's a tough ask at 6'9"

Also depends on how long their reach is as well. Some 6'9 players would be able

He is listed at 6'7 by both USU and BYU, so he'll actually be a undersized 4 man
